The Kardex Shuttle is designed for operations that need high-density storage without sacrificing fast access to inventory. Its dynamic tray storage is particularly useful when product sizes, weights or inventory requirements vary over time.
Small Parts & Tools
Consolidate cabinets and storage locations into a centralized system that reduces walking and search time while providing greater inventory visibility.
Spare Parts & Components
Store and retrieve components close to production while keeping inventory organized and readily available when needed.
Order Picking
Support picking, replenishment and returns while bringing required inventory directly to the operator.
Variable or Changing Inventory
Optiflex technology measures stored goods and dynamically assigns tray locations, helping the system use available storage capacity efficiently as your inventory changes.
Heavy or Oversized Parts
Different Kardex Shuttle models support applications ranging from smaller components to loads of up to 2,204 lb per tray.
A Vertical Lift Module can be worth considering when traditional shelving is taking up valuable floor space or employees are spending significant time walking, searching and retrieving inventory.
